(Jeter) is not going to let (Harper) get into his head. He's going to find a way to get it down. It was a great at-bat.
I said that I have no problem, ... I know him. He's a good guy. Obviously, he's very good at what he does.
I said I thought the umpire was quick on the trigger but I thought you snapped. I also told him I certainly don't want to take that emotion from him. I don't want him out there worried about what he's going to say or do. Hopefully, I'll get to him before it happens again. I never want to take his passion away from him because I think he needs it to pitch.
He's a draw, and that's what this is about. I can understand his reluctance to make a choice between the two teams, because he doesn't want to upset anybody.
He rushes things a little bit sometimes. But he's going to get better.
Hernandez pitched one hell of a game. He's pretty damn good, that's for sure.
We'd probably like to go to someone else, but Ruben assured me four or five days ago that he could play the field.
Yesterday, we may have given away too much, defensively. Bubba probably gives us our best defense, so where it may cost you a little on the offensive side, you hope he can make up for it.
We're certainly interested, we know that. He could be someone that could fit in.
That was hugely important. We have no days off the rest of the way. Fortunately, we were able to get Randy a big lead so he didn't have to work through another tough game.
That was ugly. We just gave too much away. It's one thing to have a team beat you, but it's another to help them.
That was back when just getting to the World Series was enough.
That's what goes with who you are, how much you make, all of that. It's part of the equation, unfortunately, so you just have to deal with it.
That's very important. If you expect to win and go places, you have to do things like that.
